Can’t find a serious relationship

posted March 1st, 2020 at 5:35 AM

It is because there is a high list of dating requirements that women in all other countries do not have... this isn’t LA, is it? Poor west coast is going to have some old single people in the future.. Unless... men can magically transform their selves into such: - vegetarian - non-smoker - property owner - puts relationship before work (aka. Rich and doesn’t really have to work) - must be a trendy burning man image even though Burning Man has been taken over by rich tech workers who killed its soul and stole burning man from the creators - must not play video games - must travel for recreation everywhere and all the time - exercises regularly, as doesn’t have to work and goes to the gym while traveling regularly Any of the above are necessary for a successful relationship in Vancouver. But why? Grow up. As nobody is perfect, people are going to have to lower their requirements. Everyone is just so uptight and unrealistic.

What women are you trying to date?

While being a non-smoker (but being a cannabis consumer) is a requirement, all the rest don't matter -except for one has to be reversed: guy MUST play video games.

Seems to me most women around here set the bar pretty low...at least judging by who my girlfriend's friends date.
Never mind that I myself also have a girlfriend despite not being rich, particularly handsome, owning a car or home etc. Being respectful, clean and able to make the occasional joke is enough. It's not really a secret recipe.

Guys, you know you better watch out. Girls, some girls are only about that thing, that thing...

Everyone thinks the same thing but alas no one will go out on that limb.
Maybe its for the best.
Nothing last anyways.
People are shitty.
Who Cares.
Single, Alone but at least you have honesty and truth.
I can deal with that.

What a long list! Glad my wife settled for me 25 years ago. However, looking at these desired attributes, are they mandatory, or a guideline to the kind of person being sought? I see nothing wrong with having expectations (I would myself add "hates cilantro" and "not a shoe collector"). Someone who is amenable to everyone may not attach well to anyone, right?

Not having any luck with the women, aren't you?

Yikes. Way to embrace misogyny! Women aren’t all the same. Just as men aren’t all the same. It’s so weird that people have a few shitty experiences and decide that ALL people are the exact same.

No, in Vancouver if you’re a straight dude approaching women, and you’re not in the top 15 percentile of alpha dogs, you’re pretty much guaranteed a shitty rejection

Most of us are shell shocked and simply done trying

Dating isn't equal opportunity employment

People should be picky, and should hold out for the person who makes them happy. That's how you avoid adultery and divorce! Ever considered that maybe your moping and self-pity is driving women away?
